Women are pillars of strength and courage, and have been the pride of our country. In spite of women getting good education and having financial stability, there is no change in the thoughts of the people toward women. They are still facing harassment in all walks of life. Off late, we have heard about a lot of crimes against women. There is also an increase in the cases of female foeticides or killing girl babies before they are born. Why is there so much hatred toward our gender? We have got to learn, understand and make people understand the greatness of women such as Jhansi Rani, Kalpana Chawla, Mother Theresa, and P.T. Usha among many others, who have demonstrated their skills in their respective fields.
People need to be educated about the various roles a woman plays in her daily life. She has a lot of patience and strength to understand the emotions of people around and caters to their needs with a smile. Why don't people in turn understand her emotions? I am proud to have been born a girl. I am sure that there will be a change in the society soon. Only then can we truly celebrate Women's Day.

If anything in your home is dark and looks too big for a room simply paint it a lighter colour,it always takes the bulk away and softens a large piece.

Ooh La La!
In my last post we talked about it all going a bit beach cottage down at Shingle Cottage.....
Well after we unpacked the boxes from the car and the fire screen and andirons were in place on the hearth i thought ooh la la i think we are heading a little Chateau Chic now? French Beach Cottage maybe?
A huge chandelier sat waiting to be painted by me and hung by Steve,you can see the ceiling rose hanging at the top and her original colour,she was too dark and heavy for our little cottage so i painted her in Annie Sloan Paris Grey and Old White.....
If anything in your home is dark and looks too big for a room simply paint it a lighter colour,it always takes the bulk away and softens a large piece.
If anything in your home is dark and looks too big for a room simply paint it a lighter colour,it always takes the bulk away and softens a large piece.
Oh before i forget peek above,another room has new floorboards finished :)
Here she is below hanging from our cladded ceiling,We both love the ceilings and we are so glad we decided to have cladded timber on the ceilings in every room,it was hard work to do between us but so worth it.
The bottom of the light is Paris Grey dry brushed with Old White and you can see the difference between the top which is just Paris Grey on it's own...I added Empire Gold Wax to highlight and this weekend i will be adding some Old Ochre to her and sanding here and there and then adding a little dark wax to get my desired look.
I also brought home a brass cherub lamp which at first i was going to paint but for now i am going to leave it as it is,Steve rewired it for me and added a new bulb holder and i found a lampshade from my stash that was a good size and fit for the base.
I only cleaned the cherub up as the rest of the base has a lovely turquoise patina that i really like as it goes really well with the colours in the room.
While going through piles of fabric deciding what to use for slip covering the lamp shade i came across this child's vintage lace edged blouse i had from France,it is a very pale Bluey Grey...
Lucky for me it covered the lamp shade really well and was good length...I gathered in the neck to cover the top of the shade.
Taa Daa!! It's a bit different and it will be easy to take off and wash and it's fun to mix things up from what they originally made for...The little blouse is so pretty i want to see it and with a light behind it on an evening with the fire burning it will make me wonder about the little girl in France who wore this blouse,i love pieces that tell a story.
I'm working on a large lamp shade slip cover this week that will be going on a wrought iron lamp in this room too....You can see the huge chandelier in the mirror without her candle slip covers.
Here you can see i added them,the light came originally with Tiffany stained glass shades,i removed these and measured the bulb holders which are larger than normal,I found the larger ones i needed online,they came in a yellow candle colour and were very shiny so i gave them all a coat of Annie Sloan Old White to soften them off with a chalky finish and blend them into the rest of the chandelier....
We realized when we had got to this stage that we were missing nine bulbs,So the nine pale blue pleated lamp shades will have to wait until this weekend to be added to the chandelier.
So a little more work and a little more of our furnishings and we are a little closer to our dream cottage by the sea..
I have more goings on from Shingle Cottage that i will be posting in the next few days,i hope you are all well and enjoying getting ready for Christmas....

Krissie everything is coming together so nicely! Its very comforting to fill a home with the things you love and collected. Can't wait to see more, XO Christie
ReplyDeleteIt really is taking shape into a home now~love the lamp shade you crafted out of the old shirt~the entire room looks dreamy!
ReplyDeleteIt's all coming together!, so exciting. I love that little cotton blouse to death. What sweet soft tiny sleeves. Precious, and a clever idea to use it as a shade!
CindyOh, how lovely it all is! I love all of it, especially the little cherub, and the precious shirt used as a lampshade, what a brilliant idea! How very blessed you are, to be making the perfect little cottage by the sea.

"What a surprise - laughing at every turn!"
Rosalyn Landor's voice and narration are absolutely perfect for this book. Her American accents are hilarious (in a good way) and her pitch and timing are wonderful. I find myself laughing a LOT in this book, which is unusual for a romance. The story is funny, cute, and everything you want from escapism. I'll be looking for more from both the author and the narrator.
"I just loved it."
I really appreciated the narrator's cadence and expression, and the story was deep and satisfying.

Mario Party DS
Thers not much to say, its mario party, but for ds. Now mario party has been receiving horrible reviews eevr since they've been pretty much making the same game after another, in the vane(or is it vein, or vain?) of tony hawk's multiple games.Now what makes this one stand out above the rest is the inovation of the touch screen. Its not as gimicky as the mario party for wii, but seems to work all right for me. Others might disagree but again this is mario party moving through the board, collecting, and playing min games. Great for on the go.

Here are car rental tips from the road trip-seasoned editors of RoadsideAmerica.com:• Many States, One Car:If renting a car for a longer road trip, check with the car rental companies in La Plata, Maryland to see if they have policies about crossing state lines that affect the final rate you pay. May be no effect, but don't assume you can crisscross the globe with unlimited mileage impunity. There may be a GPS tracker in the car!
• Car Types:When selecting a car type, remember it's not just about how cool you'll appear. The car selection page details show an average of how many people and how many pieces of luggage can comfortably fit in each car type. Pay attention to the specifics to be certain they meet your needs before booking.
• Leave Nothing Behind:At a road trip's end, we find we've accumulated souvenirs, kitschy mementoes, and piles of brochures from tourist attractions. These treasures prove you really traveled -- that it wasn't just some wacky delusion. When dropping off your rental car, carefully check every door pocket, drink holder and storage bin for these keepsakes. The rental car company sure doesn't have any use for them.

Pierce Mothershead Family Ties
Common Naming Patterns
There were also, of course, exceptions so this can not be taken as hard and fast proof that a particular person is named for a particular
forebearer, nor is it proof of birth order. Please also keep in mind that if a child died young, it was very common for the next child born to be given the name of the one who died. So it would be quite possible for a Veranda Jane DOE to be born 1750 and again in 1756 in the same family. The first girl dies in 1752; when another daughter was born in 1756 they gave the new daughter the same name as the first.
The usual pattern was:
Nicknames can be another small stumbling block when trying to trace ancestor's. The links below help with common nicknames.
Through the centuries people have often chosen names for their children to honor relatives (dead or living) or a highly respected person. For example, Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Sterling Price are all given names that are found among my ancestors. The first two I'm sure you recognize; the third man, Sterling Price, was a General in the Civil War one of my ancestors served under. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, parents tended to follow a specific pattern if naming their children for a family member.
Eldest son - father's father
Second son - mother's father
Third son - father
Fourth son - father's oldest brother
Fifth son - father's second oldest brother, or mother's oldest
Eldest daughter - mother's mother
Second daughter - father's mother
Third daughter - mother
Fourth daughter - mother's oldest sister
Fifth daughter - mother's second oldest sister, or father's oldest sister

Gold, Ari (b. 1977)
After graduating from Yeshiva High School, Gold studied music and cultural studies at Yale University, then transferred to New York University where he earned his B.A. While in college Gold decided that if he was going to continue to write and sing, he wanted to be the kind of artist he never saw growing up: "not just out and proud from the beginning of my career but also singing about life as a gay man." Influenced by such artists as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, and Whitney Houston, as well as the club music of the 1970s and 1980s, Gold developed his style by infusing Rhythm and Blues with a fresh, specifically gay sensibility. Inasmuch as R&B and Hip-Hop music scenes are sometimes considered , Gold's audacity in this musical genre is especially impressive. He began performing his original music at New York City hotspots like Joe's Pub, Fez, China Club, Barracuda, Metronome, Avalon, Pyramid, Splash, Bar d'O, Starlight, and CBGB's, all the while working on his self-titled debut album, which he released in 2000. To launch and promote his CD, Gold took advantage of marketing and distribution outlets made possible by the Internet and also created his own web site. Good reviews also helped the album find an audience. For example, Billboard Magazine described the CD as "steeped in sticky pop melodies, sing-along hooks, and butt-shakin' funk rhythms . . . solid radio-ready material." Ari Gold included explicit gay love songs, such as "Write Me a Love Song" and "Home." In the former, Gold sings openly about his lover asking him to write him a song about love between men. The album won the 2002 Outmusic Award for Outstanding Debut Recording. Later that year, Gold was named one of Genre Magazine's "Men We Love." The debut album caught the attention of Desmond Child who had worked with stars like Ricky Martin, Cher, Kelly Clarkson, and Aerosmith. Child and Gold collaborated on the single, "I'm All About You," which debuted on the top 20 U.K. charts and became a top 10 dance hit. The video was heavily played on MTV in the U.S. and The Box in the U.K. The single was co-written with garage stars DJ Luck and MC Neat; Gold performed with them on almost every major TV and radio show in the U.K. to support the single. In 2004, Gold released his sophomore album Space Under Sun on his own label, Gold18 Records. It debuted as #1 on the Outvoice Charts, and Gold was featured on the covers of many gay magazines. The album solidified Gold as an emerging gay musical star. Metro Source Magazine named Gold one of the "25 People That Make Us Proud." The album includes songs about such subjects as a man and woman fighting over the same man ("He's on My Team") and the trauma of getting caught by the cops having sex in public ("Caught"). It also includes the tender ballad "Bashert (Meant to Be)," which reflects Gold's Jewish identity. Two music videos based on songs in Space Under Sun achieved independent success. "Wave of You" is still played on Rock America and For Promo Only. It is also featured as a DVD extra on "Boys Life 4: Fourplay," a series of gay-themed Indie shorts from Strand Releasing. The video also became a mainstay on the newly launched LOGO television network and went on to make the list of LOGO's best videos of 2005. Gold's second video from Space Under Sun, "Love Will Take Over," bumped Madonna out of the #1 spot on LOGO's list. The video has been played on HBO Zone, Rock America, and For Promo Only. On the tour for Space Under Sun, Gold opened for RuPaul and Chaka Khan and headlined clubs and festivals in France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, the Czech Republic, and Canada. He also toured 25 cities across the United States. Space Under Sun won the 2005 Outmusic Award for Outstanding New CD. The song "Bashert (Meant to Be)" was included on the ACLU's fund-raising CD Marry Me, released in 2004 to benefit the effort to secure the rights of same-sex couples. Riding the success of his first two albums and related videos, Gold emerged as a refreshingly open public personality. He appeared in fashion magazines like W and VIBE, for which he was photographed by Walter Chin and chosen as one of "The Stylistics" in the January 2002 issue. He was named one of the "9 Hottest Men in NYC" by H/X magazine, and one of the hottest men in the world by DNA magazine.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Previously, we presented Circus, an integration of Z, CSP, and Morgan's refinement calculus, with a semantics based on the unifying theories of programming. Circus provides a basis for development of state-rich concurrent systems; it has a formal semantics, a refinement theory, and a development strategy. The design of Circus is our solution to combining data and behavioural specifications. Here, we further explore this issue in the context of object-oriented features. Concretely, we present an object-oriented extension of Circus called OhCircus. We present its syntax, describe its semantics, explain the formalisation of method calls, and discuss our approach to refinement.

Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Cruise Review by Two Tinkers: First and last time on QM2
Two Tinkers
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Queen Mary 2 (QM2) France Cruises
First and last time on QM2
We undertook a short taster cruise with Cunard , to Zeebruger and La Harve. Embarkation was the high point of the cruise. We booked quay side parking. Drove up beside the boat,unloaded luggage, and car was parked for us. Check in was quick and painless. Arrived at our cabin luggage had been placed inside, Could not get into our room as cases were blocking the small entrance into the main room area. Room was well presented, clean and tidy. A free bottle of sparkling wine on a small coffee table. Bathroom not large but serviceable. We found boat information in the room very sparse. We would have have loved a tea or coffee, but alas no facilities in the room to make one. No information in the room,as to where to get one. Yes there was a booklet giving you the name of bars and eateries , but did not say, tea room, snack bar etc. just the name of the bar/ eatery.
Food in the buffet , in our opinion , was lacking in choice. To obtain a seat was well, hard work. If there was any More
available seats you, had too, either squeeze ibetween tables ,that are placed very close together. Or walk with your food along several different areas until you found a empty table that had been cleared.There is not a main area to dine in, in the buffet area. the facility's just seemed to be spread out all over the place. Very untidy and confusing layout.
Entertainment very limited. Mainly bars with a fellow on a piano, the only bar that had different entertainment was the pub, which held the odd quiz and karaoke. Due to that fact, the bar was packed,no seats available, and when there was, the bar service was terrible. In short there was very very little to do, except drink. At $21 for a vodka and brandy with mixers, not a very cheap option. We got the impression ,that it was all about getting as much money from us as possible. You are charged your $11 per person per day service charge,then you are charged another 15 % service charge on all beverages you purchased. So for example a small mixer came to nearly $4 . You are then presented with a cheque to sign with yet another opportunity to give even more gratuities on top of the ones you have given already. We would not have minded so much, if the service had been good, but on several occasion, we were served the incorrect drink.
It was my partners birthday while we were, they made a great fuss about this , by sending her a pre printed, pre signed birthday. Ok don't expect hearts and flowers but a few chocolates , would not be a problem to them surely . It seemed as if a lot of guest were aboard the boat celebrating one thing or another. So another chance missed by Cunard to impress its clients. When we booked the cruise , we had high expectations, maybe too high.
The Ship although very nice does not in our opinion have the WOW factor that we have experienced in the past, with other cruise lines. The dining was average in our allocated restaurant the Brittania ,the service was also average, and felt like we were being rushed. The standard of the food was fairly good, but a little mean with things like vegetables . Wine! well I'm not a wine expert, I have a idea of wines that I like and that I don't like. A cheap tasting Rose $40 are you sure Cunard?? We took up the option of self help disembarkation. We had to apply for tickets, not a bad idea in our opinion, as amount leaving can be controlled, also helps the cabin boys with there cleaning regime . The asked you to go to a allocated point , with your luggage by 6.45am. So we decided to pack the majority of our case and have a early breakfast. On our return to the cabin our cases had been moved our bed stripped and remade. In theory this was still our room to. 8.30 am. So getting it ready for the next guest was a little intrusive we felt. especially as we had emptied our safe . On arriving at the disembarking area about 6.30, we found ourselves in what is a corridor. The queue was quite long, blocking the asses to and from the six lifts in that corridor. The queue finally started to move at 07.35. Due to docking late. This was our 5th cruise this year and for us the . We have travelled with Royal Caribbean. , P&O , Thomsons etc and for us Cunard came bottom of the list. Less

Nightmare Fuel: Vocaloid
Vocaloid is pretty much a blank slate for whatever the composer decides to make, many of them can turn out differently than the next. These composers and songs just... decided to try and scare you. Fortunately for them note , these songs did.
Since open/close all folders
- Machine Muzik. Seriously. There's a reason it's the page image. Just see for yourself.
- Then watch the sequel, Nehanshika. One attempted translation made a couple of lines potentially worse ("We can account for e-e-e-errors";"Now that you're dead you sing Nehanshika-hanshika").
- The creator, Deino (on Youtube known as Deino3330), was also behind this little nightmare. The song itself isn't Vocaloid, although the video does involve Calcium. Character's named Calne Ca, with "Ca" pronounced as separate letters, and is shown in the picture above.
- BitCrushe isn't as bad as the above videos, but it's still extremely eerie.
- "Bacterial Contamination" (or Saikin Osen). The song is about an unpopular girl being mocked and bullied by others, in turn becoming a bully herself in an attempt to make herself feel better, and then committing suicide to try and get away from the "infection." In the end, she states that, even though she could die to get away from the suffering, she still couldn't even die with dignity because of the things she'd done. And the singer herself is the aforementioned Calne Ca.
- The English dubbed version (yes, it has been done) is arguably even worse . Especially the ending, where you hear the singer laughing quietly. She then says " sayonara " then devolves into insane laughter. Watch it here.
- Bad End Night. Even though the song is fairly up-beat and jazzy, it is actually quite sinister. A girl (Miku) is lost with a letter to go to some mansion. She finds it and is greeted by the other Vocaloids. Later, she tries to go to sleep, only to find that no time goes by. She runs away, only to find graves. She finds that they are pretty much planning to kill her. In her fear, she pretty much kills them all. And then the final lines...
- The P.O.V. Sequel, Crazy Night paints the house's residents as much more sympathetic, but is still quite sinister; turns out, their clock stopped because Miku interrupted their play and tore out the page that led to the ending. It turns out that she had to kill them to get to the ending. After doing so, however, she finds that she doesn't like the ending. As the family goes on to the next cycle (as there appears to be a time loop going on) Miku runs after them, begging them to give her another chance. They tell her that there isn't enough time but she'll "have another chance tomorrow", implying that she is now trapped in the same loop as them forever or at least until the chain is broken.
- Twilight Night, the third installment is more confusing and even darkly humorous than scary, but it still has its unsettling moments. For example, when the inhabitants find that the last page of their script is missing, Rin and Len say this:
Rin and Len: Not good? Not good! Ah hahaHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
- The "True End", "Everlasting Night" ends with Miku having to kill herself to end the loop.
- Karakuri Burst is a loud and violent song with frightening imagery, Nightmare Faces, lots of blood and a high pitched scream (or a loud burst of static) at the very end.
- Breaking Things Into Pieces gets the point across what type of producer this person is. Do we start with the fact that if the vocals are taken out, it sounds like a rousing march? Even though the imagery is very Neon Genesis Evangelion-esque. The lyrics, you ask? It talks about a girl who can't stop breaking things. The chorus tells us that the girl can also rebuild the objects she destroyed in order to break them even more "to the point [where] you forget its original shape". Then comes the explanation. She destroys precious objects because the more memories an object goes through, the more it become attached to a person's soul. She's equating property damage with homicide. And the kicker is that there is a person that loves her. Her last act is to destroy every object they possess, before killing herself as her lover is now part of her. Throw in Nightmare Face and shattered like glass bodies and the Holy Shit Quotient gets to be pretty high.
- "Don't Look At Me In That Way" is more gut-wrenching than scary, but some lines (and imagery) may suggest that the narrator wasn't aborted or miscarried as is commonly theorized, but killed during wartime, while he was out riding his bike and possibly without realizing anything was wrong with the town being empty.
- "Chirichirijuso" is fairly unsettling, and not simply because the PV is vaguely reminiscent of Yume Nikki's more colourful areas.
- Dance of the Dead is a cheerful, happy song about dancing corpses. And you should join in!
- "I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry". Horrific sexual abuse or cannibalism; take your pick.
- A Happy Death seems to be about two kids killing each other to be 'happy' in the afterlife.
- You're a Useless Child - a blunt narration of parental abuse. No self-destructive fixations, no over-the-top gore, no child-murdering dystopias, just the story of a terrible mother and her pitiful child.
- "We Should Not Do Bad Things" Take a seemingly happy sounding song and add lyrics about bad children being "taken away", and it becomes horrifying.
...You know, let's just say most of the songs by Machigerita-P (except for a couple of surprisingly cute songs he created for Miku) are made to scare you. And horribly scare you they do.
- Dark Woods Circus and Wide Knowledge of the Late, Madness. The fan artists are of no help. At the very end of "Dark Woods Circus" she's become part of the circus. And then she hands you a flyer...
- The scariest part of Dark Woods Circus is a bit of Fridge Horror in the last 30 seconds of the PV. You see pictures of the children who came to the circus, and then the next picture is of one of the... Exhibits. But the thing is, they're the same people. And right before that part, the protagonist looks up to see a shadow looming over her...
- The other song, Wide Knowledge of the Late, Madness? This is how the children became the attractions of the circus. Going though both videos the children were kidnapped while they're in the circus, somehow put into an insane asylum, get deformed, and then be put as attractions of that circus. The PV clearly shows Meiko running the asylum and butchering its patients to sew together and make the attractions. This makes it even more scary as the protagonist of Dark Woods Circus looks like a young version of Meiko.
- The Chairman running the circus, an Eldritch Abomination Living Shadow, with "large round eyes" and being "almost ten meters tall". It's implied that he is the one who really did all of this to those poor children.
- Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance. It's basically about a very jealous stalker girl, who spies on the object of her affections. When she realizes that person is seeing another girl, she goes insane and plans to kill the girl and send her dismembered in a box to the person. And possibly kidnapps and murders them. That, coupled with the audio, piano, and random screeches in the music, makes all the more horrifying. It gets scarier when you listen to the Rockleetist version, where you can actually understand it. Oh, and don't forget the picture of Miku in the video. And the sound of her cutting off a kitten's head to give to her boyfriend. And as if it couldn't get any creepier...someone has managed to sing an English dub of it...and it happens to be rather awesome yet terrifyingly disturbing at the same time: Click and behold. And here's a lovely PV.
- If you think about it, they probably weren't ever together to begin with...
- The PV has the stalked boy keep the corpse of the murdered girl in his apartment for days. He even brushes its hair.
- Red Swamp Bottom is a sequel to "Dark Woods Circus", and is much, much scarier. It's about Miku in hell, for god's sake! Special mention has to go to the tortured screams in the beginning and this particular set of lyrics:
It hurts, my skin is burningMy intestines are being draggedNow look, rotten fruit in my melting eyesLeave no trace of themselves
- Hateful Wonderland. The artist is the same from "Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance," so the imagery is quite unnerving...
- The Full Course For Candy Addicts. "I love you so much I could eat you." The song is about her describing what her lover tastes like. The giggle at the very end does not help.
- Once again by Machigerita, Human Destruction Machine. The scary thing? The translated lyrics are most likely about prostitution and abortion. Now available with proper subtitles.
- Machigerita-P's done it AGAIN, using either Miku Append Light or Miku Append Vivid, in "Shukujo Berry no Tsukurikata", also known as "How to Make A She-trawberry". And it's most likely some kind of unholy cross between horror and porn from the lyrics. It's either about well... rape, or about someone eating a strawberry cake. Probably the former, knowing Machige.
- Sweet Poison Factory by Machigerita-P. Your Mileage May Vary, but if the lyrics don't scare you, the images are enough to overstimulate your senses... (Don't watch if you have epilepsy or if flashing lights give you migraines.)
- Okaasan is the undeniable master of all HONF for Vocaloid, hands-down. Lyrics are in the comments.
- Now available with subtitles.
- Then there's the remake, Okaasan Rebirth. If you thought the original was disturbing... This version is also notable for containing a backmasked message hidden in it at some point, though it hasn't been subbed or translated anywhere yet. However, online translators all seem to translate the final line of it the same way: "I'm right behind you now."
- Gyakuzai Koushinkyoku. The lyrics are very confusing, but fans have theorized out that Kaito and Miku were in a relationship, but then he dumps her(saying that 'if a toy gets old, just throw it away') for Meiko. That's not the Nightmare Fuel. The Nightmare Fuel is that Kaito then murders her for no real reason and manipulates Meiko into ignoring it. The ending implies that he's going to do the same to Meiko if he sees someone prettier. And that's not even getting into the really creepy Psychotic Smirk in the PV.
- Strange Masquerade Halloween. Upon reading the translation, the story goes like this. A group of people were invited to someones house for a Halloween party. Their invitations (which the song says has an address, but no sender) tell them to cover themselves with a mask so their wishes will be granted. At the party, there is banquet of food, sweets, drinks, and, well, something censored, as we see blurred items among the food floating down the screen. Then, the song talks about the guests spending who knows how long dancing, eating, and obtaining sexual pleasure. And then The mask I cant take it off! Aa aaa aaa aaaa! Just then, everyone changed into monsters (squirming in pain while laughing), each one resembling the masks they wore, while the owner of the house watches while laughing.
- Masa is a relatively unknown producer, but those who encounter some of his music will be rattled. While the videos may be creepy, having the lyrics translated make it all the more unnerving. The worst case offender is "The Spider and the Kitsune-like Lion", where Miku is tortured to death and Gumi is turned on by her pain. It's highly graphic and very not safe for work. This song was set to private on Masa's Youtube channel (ell182a) and removed from Nicovideo for good reason. The best part? It's part of a series.
- The Fox's Wedding, another Masa song (not to be confused with the one listed below by OSTER Project). The way the lyrics are sung feels like Madness Mantra. Turn on the captions.
- And let's not even get into this one. It's hard to say which is creepier: the nonsensical Madness Mantra, or the lyrics.
mothy (master of the heavenly yard) had gotten a reputation from the Evillious Chronicles; it has its own "wiki", and most of his songs end with someone being murdered or worse... Has its own page here.
- "Moonlit Bear" starts off with a woman finding these magical fruits in a forest, taking them with the goal of making her husband happy and encountering an evil bear who wants the fruit back. Sounds like a nice adventure story, right? Fridge Horror gets applied at the near end of the song when its revealed that the fruit are really babies and the bear is the distraught mother. Made even worse when its revealed that she MURDERED THE MOTHER TO STEAL HER CHILDREN. Fits into Adult Fear too.
- While not as scary as some others, "Blood-Stained Switch is still pretty creepy. It starts off with a girl with an evil alter ego... said 'Alter Ego' kills her father. The song ends with the girl exclaiming that she's not evil, and begging not to be given an injection.
- Conchita, the Epicurean Daughter of Evil starts off innocently enough with the titular character (played by Meiko) portrayed as a Big Eater who specializes in unusual delicacies. Then she eats Kaito. And the other servants. Until ultimately, still not satisfied enough, she eats herself.
- The Tailor Shop on Enbizaka sung by Luka Megurine. The song itself is about the titular tailor being sad as she sees her lover with various girls, mentioning crimes happening around the neighborhood. Finally, when a man is killed, she notes that the four people killed were a family. Poor Communication Kills doesn't even begin to cover it. Her "lover" has no idea who she is.
- Wendy By Mothy well....we can already tell it won't be happy despite the cheery tune. With a girl trying to follow Peter Pan by jumping out of a window and dying, how could it be?
- Flames of Yellow Phosphorous is a delightful retelling of The Little Match Girl where she burns down her father's house and is consequently burned at the stake for her crime.
- Mother of Pearl Bones. With an unsettling PV, glitch parts in the vocals, and the unsettling lyrics, what's to come? Well, it's learned that she dies in a fire, a theory states, and her "lover" is dead, too.
- Another great from Babuchan, Tears of an Artificial Eye (with subs) The song is apparently about A doll coming to life and killing its owner.
- Calalini, written about and from the POV of "Jani". Possibly qualifies as a Tear Jerker as well.
- This. It's a Megurine Luka song, in English, based on the following Rugrats theory: "The Rugrats really were a figment of Angelica's Imagination. Chucky died a long time ago along with this mother, that's why Chaz is a nervous wreck all the time. Tommy was a stillborn, that's why Stu is constantly in the basement making toys for the son who never had a chance to live. The DeVilles had an abortion, Angelica couldn't figure whether it would be a boy or a girl thus creating the twins."
- This song about HIM from The Powerpuff Girls. The PV shows a silhouette that looks like Bubbles and her Octi doll is on the floor in front of her with HIM's sinister shadow radiating from it. HIM tells Bubbles "not to cry" and that he wants her to "smile". He then tells her to "give in to her fight" and "take the anger deep inside and bring it into light". at the end, his message gets more and more garbled and then he promises to Bubbles that he will give her anything she wants. He then tells her that she's "his to control"...and to "prepare to attack".
- With a title like Hold, Release; The Rakshasa and the Corpse, what else can you expect? Miku in this video is the still-tormented ghost of a girl from an abusive family. She wants to be 'strong' and forget all the horrible things in her life (her abusive parents, their divorce, being sold into sexual slavery) so the Rakshasa teach her how to crush her memories, and thus her former self.
- Even worse, according to Hachi the song is about the horrible innocence of children. That's right, children are reciting this song for fun.
- "In a Rainy Town, Balloons Dance With Devils," by Hachi, features an eerie, surreal sound and lyrics, and the PV has been animated to match.
- "Ward Room 305", its sequel, is about Miku going mad after such pregnancy. It includes the same creepy animation style of the above song.
- Engloids are not exempt from this. Big Al's Beat Beat Tick Tick. There's a line implying that Al fell from very high up, and then the realization that the picture wasn't him covered in blood from a murder - It was his OWN. He's laying on the ground DYING, and the beating and ticking is his heart slowly stopping as he does.
Beat. Beat. Tick. Tick.
- From the same writer, we have Halloween Requiem. A group of teenagers try to summon dead spirits but it goes horribly wrong and a bunch of evil spirits emerge from their Ouija board. The spirits are extremely offended at the fact that nobody is afraid of them because of Halloween and promptly start attacking people to "strike fear back into their hearts (and it's implied that their first victims were a bunch of trick-or-treaters). Leon is shown running from a demon and in a total panic. Miriam, a nun, believes that it's the apocalypse. Lola and her husband are suddenly attacked in their own home. Big Al, a doctor, tells a wounded Leon that he can't help him because "the hospital is overflowing" and that he should probably stay there because "it's safer there" and "free space is growing" (implying that more people are dying than he and Sweet Anne can treat). Sonika is lying in an ambulance and implied to be dead at the end of her verse. At the climax, something happens that causes the monsters to leave, but their fear remains in the world's heart as it's revealed at the end that due to the incident nobody celebrates Halloween anymore; instead, they celebrate the day that October passes. At the end, the Engloids give us some advice: "If you choose to laugh at evil make sure you think twice".
- Koda-P recently made a triumphant return from hiatus with a remake of Halloween Requiem, with improved vocals and a much more well made (and nightmare-inducing) PV to boot! Watch it here: Halloween Requiem (2014 version + PV)
- Pumpkin March. Oliver is torturing someone-at one point giving them a Glasgow Grin- while talking about how Humans Are the Real Monsters.
- Tarantula features Oliver eating a live tarantula. And describing the sensation of eating it. In English. Yes.
- Even Yuki isn't exempt from horror songs. This artist has apparently done a series of Vocaloid noise songs. Including more by Yuki. absence seems to most resemble a traditional song, but it's still incredibly oppressive and hopeless-sounding. The translation of the lyrics doesn't help. "That child isn't anywhere... that child isn't anywhere... that child isn't anywhere... that child isn't anywhere..."
- crushed Mary is... something else, that's for sure. There isn't much in the way of lyrics, so interpertations are sparse, but the "music", if you can call it that, is horrific and cacophonic. This is one you don't want to listen to with headphones in.
- From Steampianist and Morbid-Morsel comes Twaddles of a Flue Faker. Sung by Oliver, it gives the POV of a young chimney-sweep from England. Combining a creepy black, white, and red PV with strange, spooky music, the flatness of Oliver's voice and lyrics that are a combination between Tear Jerker and Nightmare Fuel, the overall effect is highly unsettling.
- These two have teamed up again for another round of nightmares in the form of Secrets of Wysteria, based off of the deeds of notorious serial killer and cannibal Albert Fish. Once again, the PV is what makes it truly terrifying, alternating between disturbing black and white imagery of gore and body parts and frantic scribbling over a red backdrop. The eerie slow tempo of the music combined with the creepy music box and Oliver's emotionless vocals really make this one of the more terrifying Engloid songs out there.
- Yet another terrifying masterpiece from them and Momocashew has surfaced for the "Assorted Vocanuts" album: The Perfumer's Perfect Fumes. Oliver assumes the role of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille from Patrick Suskind's "Perfume", singing creepily emotional lyrics that are halfway between "crazy stalker" and "God complex", to a roaring metal track. The images in the PV are fairly benign for the subject matter, however... Until the end. Dear GOD. (WARNING: It's extremely gory. Don't look if you're sensitive to that kind of thing.)
- The lyrics to This is the happiness and peace of mind committee, by Hatsune Miku. It's about Miku wondering why everyone in the world isn't happy. So, she seemingly brainwashes everyone into being happy by... singing. Her face is in the video is quite an unsettling slasher smile too.
- Here, here's Rin's cover of it. Good night, kids! Oh, and, how would you like to die?
- The English cover is somehow even worse...
- By the same person as above, we have Miku's The Path to Eternal Happiness, I found it. It starts out pretty cute with a Bride!Miku who tells a story of newly-wed couple on a beach and the bride asking if the groom knows about 'a paradise to the south, the city of hopes where wishes come true'. She then says that she found a way to go there and disappears to find immortality. Then we see another Miku who acts like a host and is most likely the ruler of the place. Bride!Miku then has to play 'The Original Sin Game', while she plays we see panels with words flashing by, but you have to pause them at the right time to actually be able to read them. Miku wins and we cut back to the beach and we learn see that the Groom always continued to wait for her at the beach, until his death. She apparently wrote him a letter, but it was never read. Then we go to the game show again and see that the host is surprised that Bride!Miku is there again. This time Bride!Miku has to play 'The Game of Guilt', which she wins again and as a reward she becomes a zombie.
- Parasite. A hard, thrashing, dark metal song featuring distorted vocals and lyrics that are probably about mosquitoes that carry deadly disease... written from the point of view of the mosquitoes.
- "Black Hole Artist," also by Utsu-P. Rin's face is horrifying.
- Though it isn't truly Vocaloid-based, the artist watashinokoko creates noise songs using the program La La Voice, a technical predecessor to Vocaloid. Many of these songs are incredibly nightmarish. Examples include:
- Like You. The song starts out very quiet, but then the noise kicks in. And the content of the song and video itself does nothing to take the edge off; the song starts off normally enough (for a noise song,) a flickering image of a girl in the background, and then words appear on the screen, requests (ranging from "fuck me" to "listen [to] me.") And then it changes to "Kill me." Repeated over and over and over again, as the image of the girl in the background flips upside-down and starts to change, her eyes darkening until they're entirely blacked out.
- Complex. A dark, mysterious, and discordant song with surreal imagery presented in black, red, and white.
- 'Wakako and Ruriko's Breaking of Toy Blocks'. It can be found here. The entire video is a rainy night scene with two people, one of which looks a bit taller. And then at the end you see the knife in the little girl's hand is 'DRIPPING' with blood.
- For those of you who want the interactive link: God save you if you choose to press the button after 'Sayonara'- THIS is why it's Nightmare Fuel, for the skeptics, if you will...
- The sequel, ItaiAtashiAshitaAitai is also pretty creepy. Like above, what makes it Nightmare Fuel is that special little bonus you get when you attempt to pause when the screen wipes out (0:23 and 2:52)
- And on the subject of Chad's fun little videos, If you decide to watch Incoming/Outgoing , whatever you do, don't:
- pause for more than 30 seconds
- pause at 0:24
- pause between 2:01 and 2:02
- "Project Distortion", in which Maika, Mayu and Gumi perform a rather ambiguous surgical procedure on Yohioloid, ending with him lamenting the loss of humanity. This gets worse if you look up some of the operations they mention (which you don't want to do if you have a weak stomach).
- "Oxidation and Dream Monsters", which was based on the Yume Nikki fangame, dotflow, so to those who've played or even heard of the game, you can already tell what to expect.
- Jisatsu Shoujo, a Miku song by Daijoubu-P, whose title translates to "Suicide Girl". It's intentionally discordant, and you can practically hear how fragile Miku's mental state must be. The PV isn't much better, depicting a skinless Miku whose face appears to be frozen in a scream of agony.
- "A 13-Year-Old Killer," by Kagamine Rin. The subject matter is upsetting enough, but the dark, creepy sound of the song and the male narrator that you can barely make out over the music barely helps. And the final spoken line of the song is chilling, once you put it all together...
- This. It's a 30 second video of Miku repeatedly stabbing... someone. The amount of blood around and the sound that the stabbing makes both imply that she's been at this for a while, and she doesn't seem to be interested in stopping. Upon watching the making-of, it's revealed that the person that she's stabbing is Kaito. "Love is War" playing softly in the background does not help.
- Tympole (Otamaru)'s face in the Pokémon Isshu Rap. For added fun, parts of the song were produced by Daijoubu-P and Utsu-P, mentioned above, and they stick to their usual styles.
- Abre los Ojos ("Open Your Eyes"), in which Miku plays the role of a girl who, after being rejected by the man she loves, decides to make sure that his heart is hers ... literally.
- Circle You, Circle You. If you don't feel like watching the PV, this image◊ pretty much sums it up. Children dismembering each other for all of eternity.
- Rockleetist's dub makes it even scarier, especially the last verse:
Circle you, circle youCircle you, circle youCircle you, circle you- That's not the scariest, the ending of the video is. It shows what looks like a motionless drawing of Miku holding a bloody knife and sporting a blank look on her face. Doesn't look so scary, right? After approximately 3 seconds, Miku then bears a crazed expression then swings her knife AT YOUR DIRECTION, then the screen fades to black and the video ends... Or not.
- Listening to the song with headphones is really creepy too; Miku's voice comes out of one side and Luka's comes out of another. When they sing together, it actually sounds as though you're being surrounded.
- KAITO ga UNINSTALL: Kaito goes Yandere and kills the other Vocaloids so he can be his master's center of attention and affection.
- Fear Garden, in which Rin sings about cutting the other Vocaloids' arms off and planting them like flowers in her garden.
- The Purple Forest sung by Miku and Kaito. The creepiest thing about this song is that there is no ominous notes, it sounds sweet and pretty and lovely the whole way. The only way you know it is creepy is if you watch the video, and after that, the simple fact of such a pleasant sounding song with an ominous backstory is chilling. The story is about a forest that no one likes to enter. A traveler (Kaito) wanders in and meets a pretty young girl (Miku). She turns out to be a dryad who lures people to her, and absorbs them into her tree for sustenance. She does this to Kaito while he sleeps, while the whole time Kaito believes he's being taken to a paradise. And then at the very end of the vid, Miku looks right at you with the beginnings of a Slasher Smile.
- We Were Friends Until Yesterday by Miku is a deceptively cute song about a girl that becomes friends with a weird sunfish...thing. Takes a turn for the worse when their food runs low and her "friend" starts to look more like food...
- Prisoner and Paper Airplane ride on the anxiety caused by being permanently separated from a loved one. Except in this case, one part of the couple (Rin) is a terminally Ill Girl, and the other part of the couple (Len) is in a prison—no, a concentration camp. One with backdrops derived from Auschwitz. We first, in "Prisoner", witness Len being put to death in a gas chamber. Then in "Paper Airplane", we see Rin being put on gradually more life support, until she ultimately passes away.
- Trick and Treat is about Miku being lured into a house in the woods by Rin and Len, and being drugged with candy to make her fall asleep. She wakes up sooner than they anticipated and suddenly remembers where she knows the pair from. They're her old dolls, which she abandoned after getting a new one. Once Rin and Len realize that she's awake, things get worse in a hurry. The twins want Miku's heart... and succeed in getting it.
- The Riddle Solver Who Can't Solve Riddles is more than a little disconcerting, as it starts out with Len interrogating his sister, who apparently has murdered all the guests... but by the end of the video it's fairly obvious Len is the one who killed them all and he's about to do the same to her.
- Twilight Homicide Song. Meiko can be pretty scary too. And that mask.
- SF-A2 Miki singing the Lavender Town theme, from Pokemon, a song frequently used or at least referenced in the horror stories of the Pokemon fandom.
- "50/50," a Miku song about a girl who is jealous of her best friend Mari-chan's new boyfriend... so she cuts him in half so that they can share. "Mari-chan and I go halfsies on everything." Now available with English subtitles.
- Despite its awesome tune, Kagerou (translation: Heat Haze) Days can be a bit scary to watch, especially the PV Version. The song is essentially about a "Groundhog Day" Loop wherein a boy is forced to watch his friend die in increasingly horrible ways, no matter how much he tries to prevent it. In order to break the loop once and for all, he goes back to the first death (the girl gets smashed by a speeding truck) and sacrifieces himself so the girl could live. And just when you think that all is said and done, the ending of the song shows the girl seemingly going through the same loop, only with the boy dying instead.
- Here is You Are Mine, a Yandere Luka song.
"I'll die...I'll die! just to get away from you!"Aw, why? Don't die!You know I will still own you!
- Black and White Ward (also known as Monochrome Ward) is the story of science gone horribly wrong. It flies by so fast that you may not realize that Rin has swapped clothes/appearance with Len at the end. It ends with Rin dead, Rin's assertation that Len is still a nobody, and the words Congratulations "Rin".
- Love Disease featuring Luka. Starts off as a peppy swing song about going on a date, until we learn that Luka was just daydreaming about the whole thing. Then she catches her love interest going out with another woman, which prompts her to Murder the Hypotenuse so she can have him all to herself, and at the same time that eyes-out-of-frame shot that's remained still the whole time zooms out to reveal a Slasher Smile with Ax-Crazy eyes. She stalks him and tries repeatedly to get in contact with him (and it's implied he's trying to get away from her). "If I Can't Have You" goes into full effect by the end of the song; it's implied she either kills him or rapes him.
- Wonder Girl & Labyrinth Gate is the tale of Hansel and Gretel, and how they defeat the evil witch! Except that Hansel is a doll, the candy house is run-down shed, and the wicked witch isn't a witch at all. (Note: turn on CC to view english subs)
- A Fox Wedding(not to be confused with the equally terrifying The Fox's Wedding) starts out as a typical Tear Jerker song and then...
- From JUSF Zhou Cun, a Luo Tianyi/Yan He song: Puppet Master: Finest Creation. It sounds jazzy and all, but... the PV begins with a disclaimer of sorts: Yandere, check. Representation of blood, check. Body parts cut to pieces, check. It's about a man trying to create the perfect doll from human parts and constantly being unsatisfied and hacking it up again. Said 'doll' is implied to still be alive.
- This alternate music video for Kaito's cover of Donut Hole starts out as a simple Tear Jerker and then the second verse happens. And then things get even worse. Much worse.
- "Rotten Rotten Zombie" has a PV that has Gumi and Cul as cute zombies and other cute monsters, that were, respectively, the wife and lover of a man who kills them both. Then they return from the grave and they "split" him between each other.
- "Creativity" sung by Avanna and Kaito. It acts as a Villain Song for Sketchbook and Tony the Talking Clock from "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared". It summarizes them both perfectly and horrifyingly.
- Cantarella is a difficult song to interpret, but some of the lyrics have very disturbing implications. It seems that many fans have caught on to Kaito's rapist vibes, as quite a few fanmade videos include him drugging and restraining Miku in an attempt to get her into bed.
I now set up a trap to capture your captivated heart.There's no place to escape from this rusty chain.If I slip you into the deep bushes, you'll probably be violated by the scent of our mixing sweats.
- Escape the Princess is about a princess (Miku) in a loveless marriage with an emperor and is secretly in love with the emperor's sister. When the sister marries and moves away, the princess falls into despair, starts seeing one of her ladies-in-waiting (Gumi) as the sister's lookalike, and then violates her, causing the lady-in-waiting to attempt to flee. The song itself is incredibly frantic and fast-paced with intense piano chords, making the listener feel the desperation of the lady-in-waiting as she attempts to escape. In the end, the princess catches her and it is implied that the lady-in-waiting becomes the princess' sex slave.
- Slender Fortress has Shadow Miku,an shadow version of Miku with white lines in her body.There are 2 Mikus:One real and one fake.The fake one is only black with white eyes and the real one is the former one with white lines.one the real detects you,you will have to sacrifice someone if you want to survive
- The sounds they make are the really disturbing thing.They are reversed lines of Miku
- The theme that plays when the Real one chases you is creepy.If you look at Miku's files,you will see that its an reversed version of "Triple Baka"

First suggestion, don't take the Google Maps recommendation for Tetons/Jackson to Arches/Moab. Take 189/191 to Vernal instead. Good road with some good scenery, plus you pass by Flaming Gorge. From Vernal to Moab, not much to see. You can choose hwy 40 or stay on 191. I recommend 191. Hwy 40 is really desolate. Never been there in late October so I'm not sure of the road conditions, but it's a good road, so I doubt you need 4WD. |

Edward Harvey and William Sperry , of Aldgate , were a 4th time indicted for breaking and entring the House of James Walker , and taking thence six Pair of Stockings val 15 s. on the 28th of April , in the Night-time . James Walker depos'd, that he lost the Stockings out of his Shop at the Hermitage ; but knew not how, not when. John Johnsy thus depos'd: Sperry had lodg'd at my House: His Wife brought me four Pair of Stockings to sell. Where did you get them? says I. - Your Husband leads a loose Life, and I am afraid they are stolen. I am afraid so too, says she, and I believe he'll never leave off till he brings me and himself too to the Gallows. But I'll go and fetch him and his Companion, and let them answer for themselves. She went away, and quickly return'd, with her Husband and Harvey. They asked Half a Crown a Pair for the Stockings. I examin'd how they came by 'em; and Harvey said they were his, and he bought them to go to Sea; but wanting a little ready Money, he was willing to dispose of them again. But afterwards he confess'd that he wrenched aside the Shutters of Walker's Shop, and pull'd them out with a Hook. They were carry'd before the Justice: Their Confession was drawn up, and Sperry was going to sign it; but Harvey pull'd him away, with a G - D - ye for a Fool! Are you going to sign your own Dead-Warrant? They were committed to New-Prison; but the Keeper there was for having them sent to Newgate; for he thought they did not belong to his Posterity. The Jury found them guilty of Felony.

In any discussion of holistic, integrative medicine, it's not unusual to hear the term "evidence-based" medicine thrown around. Usually, this term is used by opponents of a holistic/ integrative approach to health care. One method the fans of a strictly conventional approach use to try to shut down any rational discussion of using holistic therapies is to ask, "Where's the evidence (proof) these therapies work?"
One of my goals is to start an integrative medicine course at my alma mater, for Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine. A friend of mine, a proponent of integrative medicine, had the opportunity to discuss my proposal with the dean of the veterinary school. His response was that while some of the students and a few faculty members had shown an interest in integrative medicine, most of the faculty was opposed to the idea. He stated that they were a conservative school and only wanted to teach "evidence-based" medicine.
The astounding thing about his response is that there is a large amount of evidence behind the therapies we use in integrative medicine. For example, there are many years of research showing the benefits of joint supplements such as glucosamine for people and pets with arthritis. Not only do the studies show the positive benefits that can be achieved when the proper joint supplements are used correctly, but we have cellular evidence showing exactly how the supplements work in the body.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been recommended for use in pets for over 30 years. Originally proposed to help pets with allergic skin disease, we now know from the evidence obtained through research exactly how omega-3 fatty acids work, and that they bring positive benefits to patients with a number of diseases, including heart disease, joint disease, kidney disease, and even cancer.
I've had the pleasure of writing 12 books on the topic of integrative medicine for pets, and have contributed to countless other books and articles on the topic. These books came about after carefully researching the evidence-based medicine that supports the therapies I described. I regularly read textbooks and medical journals in both the human and veterinary medical fields describing evidence-based natural therapies that can be used in place of or in conjunction with conventional medical therapies.
For a dean of a prestigious veterinary school to state that there is no evidence for integrative medicine is illogical and ignores the large amount of proof that exists for the therapies we use every day. If we are going to take the "high and mighty" approach that we will only teach or use therapies based on "evidence," then to be fair we must be consistent in our approach.
There are many conventional therapies that have been used in both human and veterinary medicine before a full understanding of how they worked was known. Even today, certain medications are rushed to market an attempt to help severely ill patients before a full body of "evidence" is obtained.
For those whose veterinarians are opposed to using an integrative approach to health care, citing that they only use "evidence-based" medicine, I would suggest you pose the following question to them:
"Where is the "evidence-based" medicine that
supports the common practice of annual vaccination?"
Of course if you ask your veterinarian this, you may upset him or her so much that you'll soon be looking for a new veterinarian (which is not necessarily a bad thing if he or she still practices the outdated suggestion that pets need annual vaccinations!)
The easy answer to this important question is that there is no "evidence-based" medicine to support the worn out and dangerous practice of annual vaccination for pets. There is no research proving that pets require annual vaccination for every infectious disease.
Did you ever stop to wander the following: if annual vaccinations are so important for dogs and cats, why we don't vaccinate people every year against infectious diseases? Shouldn't we too be protected annually against infectious diseases?
Well there are really two reasons we people do not receive annual vaccinations. The first is that most vaccines produce long-lasting immunity in people (and in pets!) Annual vaccination is not necessary, and would actually constitute malpractice in human medical practices. Based upon years of research we know the approximate duration of immunity each vaccine will produce in a given human patient.
The second reason for not administering vaccinations to people on an annual basis is to prevent serious and possibly fatal side effects. These can include serum sickness (a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine components,) immune diseases of the blood and other organs, and even cancers.
Knowing this, it is tempting to ask ourselves why we vaccinate pets every year.
Research done over the last 10 years shows that the high quality vaccines we use every day in practice produce long-lasting immunity in pets, similar to what is found in people. At this point we don't know the maximum duration of immunity for each vaccine. Studies have shown that some of our vaccines can produce immunity for five or ten years, and possibly even for the life of the pet.
As is true with people, we see a number of diseases in pets who are vaccinated too frequently.
While current recommendations from veterinary vaccine experts recommend vaccinations every three years, integrative doctors, including me, recommend only vaccinating healthy pets based upon the results of inexpensive blood titer tests.
The other question that's tempting to ask ourselves is what constitutes "evidence?" How do we know that a therapy works or doesn't work? How do doctors gather evidence?
Whether we're talking about a drug or natural therapy, evidence is only obtained by using the therapy in patients. We know for example that ibuprofen works well in people to control headaches, inflammation, and mild pain because millions of people have used many doses of the medication. We know that the NSAID Metacam works well in dogs and cats to minimize inflammation and pain seen with musculoskeletal problems and following surgical procedures. Likewise we know the nutritional supplement choline works very well to help prevent and treat cognitive disorder in pets, and glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid are great therapies to relieve arthritis pain. We have evidence of the effectiveness of these therapies because someone thought they might work, then the therapies were tried in a small number of patients and showed effectiveness and safety, and finally many doses were used which confirmed the initial findings of safety and effectiveness.
So when a conventional doctor with a bias against integrative medicine states that he only supports "evidence-based" medicine, he's not being honest or fair. He only supports conventional medicine, even when (in the case of annual vaccinations for dogs and cats for example) there is evidence-based medicine showing that this conventional practice is no longer needed!
Finally, keep in mind that medicine is part "art" as well as part "science." While it's great to have a lot of "science" behind what we do, integrative medicine appreciates the "art" of medicine. There is no one "cookie cutter" approach to treating every patient. Experience obtained by treating large numbers of patients, and being open to trying whatever therapy might help the patient, constitute the "art" of medicine. So often the "art" is what is missing from the strictly conventional approach. Most of what I and my holistic colleagues do is try to find the best therapy for each patient based upon historical and examination data. While I have science to back up everything I do, it's my application of the science (which is the "art" of medicine,) which determines the outcome of each case.
"Evidence-based" medicine is important, but integrative medicine is "evidence-based" and should be accepted as freely as "evidence-based" conventional medicine.
Keep that in mind the next time someone tries to convince you that only "proven" (conventional) therapies can help you or your pet!

This is an interesting and well-written article / almost blog-like discussion of the term "evidence-ba<x>sed" medicine which is used (usually) by people who do NOT believe in holistic medicine. Dr. Messonnier does a good job refuting this belief in his own way and this might therefore be a good article to have on the site in case we do get people who are unsure whether they believe in holistic medicine and want to read an article by someone who believes in it but who also understands people's hesitation to accept it.

National Down Syndrome Society666 Broadway, 8th FloorNew York New York email@example.com
I can still remember how I felt when I first found out that my first born, Madison, would be born with Down syndrome. I cried for days upon days, went to see a genetic specialist, then decided to have further testing to make sure that's what she would have. For me, being a nurse, I had to know what I was facing and how to handle it. When you find out your child will have a disability, you hear what everyone "thinks" you should do. I can't tell you how many people told me to terminate my pregnancy because she wouldn't have any "quality of life." What do they know?! NOTHING!
Madison will be 4 years old in June and she is the love of my life. We've been through two open heart surgeries and our fair share of ups and downs. Madison brings so much joy to our lives and to anyone she comes into contact with. Yes, it took her longer than other kids to hit those milestones, but she did it! She has her own little personality and is determined to do what she wants! She started preschool last fall and is miss popularity! I still don't understand why there's such a stigma about this disorder. She is just like any other child and just wants to be loved. She gives unconditional love and melts my heart with her kisses. She has taught me and my family so much. I can't imagine what my life would be like without her. I only wish people would give these kids a chance and see them for so much more than an extra chromosome. Thank you for letting me share a little piece of her!
